Plot Synopsis

Based on James S.A. Corey's book series collectively known as "The Expanse," this thriller, set 200 years in the future, follows the case of a missing young woman who brings hardened detective Josephus Miller and rogue ship captain Jim Holden together in a race across the solar system to expose the greatest conspiracy in human history. By this point, humans have colonized the solar system. The U.N. controls Earth, but Mars is an independent military power. The planets rely on the resources of the Asteroid Belt, where air and water are more precious than gold. For decades, tensions have been rising between these three places. Now, Earth, Mars and the Belt are on the brink of war when a young woman goes missing. Miller, a native of the Ceres Station in the Asteroid Belt, is a detective for a corporate security force operating as the law in the Belt, and he discovers a newfound sense of purpose when he's put in charge of the investigation into a missing heiress. Holden, the 2nd officer on the ice-carrying freighter the Canterbury, is a natural leader who's not sure he wants responsibility, but who will soon have no choice when he is drawn into a dangerous plot. Meanwhile, on Earth, Chrisjen Avasarala has achieved one of the highest ranks in UN government without ever standing for election. She belongs to a longstanding political dynasty on Earth, dating back to the early days of planetary exploration and colonization. Martian separatists assassinated her father during a period of social unrest, and her son, a Marine, died in the line of duty while defending Earth from Belter revolutionaries. The Canterbury crew includes: chief engineer Dominique, a former Belter whose complicated relationship with violence and her troubled history have lead to an unlikely friendship with the Canterbury's mechanic, Amos Burton; pilot Alex, who grew up in Mars' Mariner Valley and enlisted in the Martian Congressional Republic Navy before signing up for this gig, which gives him the chance to visit the farthest reaches of the solar system; mechanic Amos, an Earther who doesn't talk about his past -- but knows a lot about brothels and Baltimore; and med-tech Shed, who has to operate at a dining table in the galley after the medical bay was removed when the Canterbury was gutted to clear the way for cargo. THE EXPANSE returned for a 13-episode second season on Wednesday, February 1, 2017 from 10pm-Midnight ET/PT on Syfy with a double-episode premiere. As Season 2 kicks off with interplanetary tensions at an all-time high, the cold war between Earth and Mars is on the brink of an all-out battle. In the season opener (10pm), "Safe," James Holden and crew deal with the aftermath of their escape from Eros. Then, in the night's second new episode (11pm), "Doors & Corners," Holden and crew stage a dangerous raid in search of information about the protomolecule. Season 3 of THE EXPANSE premiered on Wednesday, April 11, 2018 at 9pm ET/PT on Syfy. Picking up immediately following the emotional and suspenseful second season finale, the 13-episode third season finds Earth, Mars and The Belt at war, with each competing entity vying for control. Now, more than ever, the mission to unlock the secret of the protomolecule reaches an all-time high and every decision made could jeopardize the survival of the solar system. Returning cast: Steven Strait, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Dominique Tipper, Cas Anvar, Wes Chatham and Frankie Adams. This season also introduces Elizabeth Mitchell and David Strathairn as recurring guest stars.

On Wednesday, June 27, 2018 from 9-10:30pm ET/PT, Syfy premiered the Season 3 finale of THE EXPANSE, debuting back-to-back new episodes:

"Congregation" (9pm): As survivors arrive to the Behemoth, two factions form over how to handle a life-or-death threat. Holden grapples with what he's seen and the choices he must make.

"Abaddon's Gate" (9:45pm): Holden and his allies must stop Ashford and his team from destroying the Ring, and perhaps all of humanity.

One month earlier -- on May 25 -- THE EXPANSE was picked up by Amazon for Season 4 after Syfy cancelled the series. The announcement was made by Amazon's boss himself, Jeff Bezos, at National Space Society's International Space Development Conference in Los Angeles where he was an honoree.
